Fighting is not about proving you have the strongest chin, but rather inflicting damage on your opponent and avoinding being damaged yourself, which is exactly what Lyoto did to Tito.

There were several times that Tito got a hold of him, but each time Lyoto shrugged him off easily. Throughout the fight Tito was just following Lyoto around and lunging at him and that let Lyoto use his superior speed to avoid Tito and make him look soooooo slow. And in the second round Lyoto cut Tito on the right eyelid. How could someone that is running like Karnes do that?

In the third round they were clinched up in the beginning of the round, but Tito could not take him down (like Lyoto slammed him in the 1st round) and then Lyoto landed that devastating knee that dropped Tito like never before. Tito did catch him with the triangle and I really thought that Tito had him, but Lyoto was even able to defend that.

IMO....brilliant fight by Lyoto!!!
